Okay... I actually had an out loud laugh at the "citation needed" ...  "and compares it to using police dogs for traffic control, which people would generally frown upon.[citation needed]" [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.250|141.101.98.250]] 06:25, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

:As I said a few weeks ago, this site gets the best "citation needed"s, I swear someone looks for places to put them with the best comedic value. LOL! One of my faves was when there was a "citation needed" on the statement that a baby would be unable to plan and implement a jewel heist. :) There was another good one a couple of weeks ago, where I made the comment, but I forget what. - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.16|108.162.219.16]] 07:57, 26 May 2017 (UTC) I finally signed up!

::Got it! 1822, there's a "citation needed" on the statement that 5 million years is longer than the lifespan of a human. :) - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.16|108.162.219.16]] 08:14, 26 May 2017 (UTC) So's this!

:This is not about the comic, directly anyway, but it occurred to me that there are hundreds of millions of kilowatt level magnetrons floating around in microwave ovens everywhere. If one of these was coupled to a suitably narrow angle horn antenna, could anybody offer a guess of over what kind of range could this setup fry the electronics in a drone? (!) Just wondering.

::The TV show Scorpion did something along those lines, where they found a drug cartel was using drones to smuggle drugs and money back and forth across a border, they jury-rigged a "gun" to zap the drones with something to scramble them and knock them out of the sky. If that's at all realistic, seems far more effective and humane than this eagle thing. (From your description, they might have done exactly that). Now I'm just imagining such secure locations having these "guns" set up as automatic turrets, LOL! - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.16|108.162.219.16]] 21:55, 29 May 2017 (UTC) I finally signed up!
